The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1887-01-01


Senator John A. Logan. Of Illinois,
perhaps one Of the best known soldier
statesmen in The country, and highly
esteemed b III for his many good
qualities ofhead and heart, after brief
illness, died ii his residence in the
City Of Washington on Sunday last.
General Logan, though Republican
Of the old school, was ever ready to
lend bis veice IN aid Of what he CON
ceived TO be just snd right. he
served in the Mexican war, and was
d gallant and brave defender Of the
Union during the Int nnpleasantness
between the States.
In the death Of Gen. Logan the
country loses an honored citizen and
the United States Senate the counsel
and aid Of wise, judicious and mp
right member, and his loss will be
universally mourned by the people at
large, as neither friend or foe could
say other than he was honest and con-
scicntious in his career as a public
servant. Sincere in his convictions,
he was formidable enemy conscious
Of that which was right, he was ever
ready to yield to that which he con
sidered for the welfare Of the whole
country.
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1887-01-01

AT present everything looks exceed
ingly favorable 10 the Interstate Con
yention which is TO meet at Lake
Charles on the 22d day of February,
1887, and there is no doubt enter
tanned whatever, but the project will
prove one of the grandest successes in
the history of agriculture in our State,
as representative men from almost
every Stale in the Union will attend,
and endeayor to infuse new life in this
all important branch of industry. The
holding of this convention here will
no doubt bring 10 our town hundreds
Of strangers, and in order that they be
entertained with that dignity and hos
pitality becoming TO city like ours,
we would recommend that meeting
of The citizens of Lake Charles be
called at an early day to take such
